I'm weary from my travels
I've come a long, long way
I haven't felt a woman
Since last that I was here
Oh, won't you bring me whiskey
And run your fingers through my hair?

Oh, won't you whisper sweet words

Oh, so softly in my ears?



Can you always tell a sinner

From a saint, if he's the same?

And is your thick skin growing thinner?

Have you found someone to blame?

She said, "You need not worry, child

Now is not the time"

Then she kissed me on the forehead

And turned my water into wine



My fair lady

My fair lady

Just let me hold you for a while

Just let me hold you for a while

My fair lady

My fair lady

Just let me hold you for a while

Just let me hold you for a while



Keep lookin' out your window

When the storms are raging on

Oh-oh, before you know, gal

I'll be coming back ashore

Coming back to my hometown

Where I saw you first

I knew you were the one

I knew it all along

Go on, claim my heart

Some night you just seem forever lasting

Low lights make me know that you're there (Oh)



My fair lady

My fair lady

Oh, won't you lay here by my side?

Just let me hold you for a while

My fair lady

My fair lady

Oh, won't you lay here by my side?

Just let me hold you for a while

Won't you lay here by my side?

Just let me hold you for a while
